I also acknowledge GM for being the last US company to fight the good fight on two fronts (Camaro category and Vette category) - since Ford is using only the Mustang and Dodge only has the Challenger (until the return of the Viper).

Furthermore, I give them credit by taking the same basic equation and applying it to their luxury line to come up with genuine BMW/MB/Audi fighters. The CTS-V coupe is an M3/S5 beater, the sedan goes head to head with E-class AMG and M-5, and the CTS-V wagon is going to do very well against the S6 Advant and E-class wagons. All of which seem to make having numerous gas-guzzler vehicles under one roof make sense. (the BMW and MB cars all carry gas guzzler taxes as well)

I don't see Ford or Dodge being able to enter those rings with any Chrysler or Lincoln offerings

OK - this might tie my earlier nomination for the day
